The code, which can be scanned from three metres, will reveal details of a person’s vaccination history and Covid-19 test results.

A new ‘health passport’ that verifies people who have been vaccinated could be the key to reopening pubs.

The Department for Health is said to be in talks with tech firm VST Enterprises to develop the VCode app which would also allow people to return to restaurants, theatres and sporting events,The next-generation technology uses a round barcode instead of a square QR code which is thought to be more secure, the newspaper added.

Louis-James Davis, 32, from VST Enterprises, said: ‘It’s not yet clear what restrictions will be in place later in the year but the VCode would be able to handle any of them.‘Organisers would be confident about letting you into an event and you would feel safe, knowing the others around were also in the low-risk category.

‘There’s the added advantage that the VCode is much more secure than the QR code. It’s also unhackable and tamper proof. And, unlike a paper certificate, it cannot be forged.’Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove denied passports were part of the government’s plans, but vaccine deployment minister Nadhim Zahawi later suggested that they were ‘looking into’ the technology.

A spokesman for the Department for Health said last week: ‘As large numbers of people from at-risk groups are vaccinated, we will be able to gather the evidence to prove the impact on infection rates, hospitalisation and reduced deaths.Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk.

And here is the start. Agenda 30. What if u dont go along with it...... quarantine camps. Wake up !!!!!!!!! We are being played.

Great idea.

Great result, not many from Planet London going on holiday then.

Brilliant. There’s going to be a Techno explosion within the next few years

Cause it’s possible does not make it right

So it begins.

Nope

Oi, mate, where is your being outside loicense? 👮

So what about this being used in theatre, cinema, concerts.. How about getting the one industry that had NO help back on its feet..

This is in effect forced injections of what will become increasingly experimental technology ie. nanobots, gene manipulation, neural lace, subdermal RFID chips etc). Over time an operating system that interacts with the new 5G grid will be installed. Welcome to your cyber prison.

Let those who are deceived be deceived.

The ones who are likely to go to the pub are the ones who have yet to even accept the seriousness of this pandemic. They will only see this as another means of 'cOnTRoL' 😂

How likely is it to work?
